SMALL GRANT IMPLEMENTATION PLEDGE:
1. I will fully implement my project within my Chicago Public School during winter/spring of 2017.
2. I will notify CFE immediately with any changes to my account email address, assigned school, personal contact information, or status of collaborating teachers. I understand that email will be the primary means of communication.
3. If my Small Grant project garners media (TV, newspaper, radio) attention, I will acknowledge CFE as the project’s funding source. I will also notify CFE promptly if such a situation arises.
4. If I indicate below that I am interested in having a CFE staff member or volunteer visit my classroom, I will respond promptly to any communication from this person in order to set up a mutually convenient observation date prior to Friday, June 2, 2017.
5. I will submit my Final Report (emailed to teacher in early May) no later than Wednesday, June 7, 2017.
6. I will use CFE’s award funds management system, Class Wallet, to purchase my grant materials. (Contact or 312.670.2323 if you have questions or concerns after receiving your Class Wallet login credentials in January 2017.)
7. I understand that failure to comply with any of the above criteria will make me ineligible for any further CFE grants until September 2017. I understand that if I do not purchase project-appropriate materials and resources – as determined by the CFE staff and outlined in my original application – my award will be reported to the IRS as taxable income.
I accept this Small Grant, will honor the pledge, and have secured the appropriate signatures below.
